Basic Information
Product Name: Cupric Hydroxide (Copper(II) Hydroxide)
Chemical Formula: Cu(OH)2
Molar Mass: 97.56 g/mol
CAS Number: 20427-59-2
Appearance: Blue flocculent precipitate or powder. It is insoluble in water, slightly amphoteric, and dissolves in acids, ammonia, and cyanide solutions.
Main Applications
Chemical Industry:
Catalyst and Intermediate: Used as an intermediate for synthesizing other copper compounds (e.g., copper chloride, copper sulfate) and as a catalyst in organic reactions (e.g., oxidation, hydrogenation).
Pigments and Coatings: Produces blue pigments for ceramics and glass, or acts as an antimicrobial component in anticorrosive coatings.
Agriculture and Medicine:
Fungicide: Mixed with copper sulfate to form Bordeaux mixture, widely used to control plant fungal diseases (e.g., downy mildew in grapes).
Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in veterinary medicine or as a copper supplement (with strict dosage control due to copper ion toxicity).
Analytical Chemistry:
Detection of Aldehydes: As a component of Fehling's solution, it reacts with aldehyde groups (e.g., glucose) under alkaline conditions, forming a brick-red precipitate of copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) to identify reducing sugars.
Safety and Handling
Toxicity:
Copper ions are harmful if ingested, potentially causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Prolonged exposure to dust may damage the liver and kidneys.
Highly toxic to aquatic organisms; avoid releasing into water bodies.
Protective Measures:
Wear dust masks, gloves, and safety goggles during handling. Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation or skin contact.
Storage:
Store in a sealed container in a dry place, away from acids, oxidizers, and food products to prevent deliquescence or reactions.
